Adaptive Repulsive Pheromone Clustering for Foraging Robot Swarms
Carlos Pena-Caballero, Constantine Tarawneh, Qi Lu
The Central Place Foraging Algorithm (CPFA) combines site fidelity, pheromone-guided navigation, and uninformed random search to enable decentralized resource collection in robot s…
Grouping Auction-Consensus Algorithm for Decentralized Task Allocation in Multi-Robot Systems
Jose Rodriguez, Sven Koenig, Wenjie Dong +1
Decentralized multi-robot task allocation (MRTA) is essential for scalable and resilient autonomous systems. The Consensus-Based Bundle Algorithm (CBBA) is a widely adopted decentr…
A Visitation Grid for Complete Coverage Foraging in Robot Swarms
Qi Arturo Gonzalez, Yifeng Gao, Li Zhang +1
The complete collection of sparse resources in large, unknown environments remains a challenging problem for autonomous robot swarms. Previous studies have shown that a substantial…
Auction-Consensus Algorithm with Learned Bidding Scheme for Multi-Robot Systems
Jose Rodriguez, Constantine Tarawneh, Sven Koenig +2
Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) is a central challenge in decentralized multi-agent systems, where teams of robots must cooperatively assign and execute tasks under limited comm…
Non-Contact Vibration-Based Damage Detection of Civil Structures Using a Cost-Effective Autonomous UAV
Javier Becerril, Maximiliano Vargas, Jennifer Herrera +6
This paper presents a non-contact approach for vibration-based structural damage detection using an autonomous and customized cost-effective unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Vibratio…
LLM-Foraging: Large Language Models for Decentralized Swarm Robot Foraging
Peihan Li, Joanna Gutierrez, Fabian Hernandez +2
Swarm foraging algorithms, such as the central-place foraging algorithm (CPFA), typically rely on offline parameter optimization using genetic algorithms (GA) or reinforcement lear…
